Your Arrival

Cody, Wyoming is about 45 miles east of Camp Buffalo Bill and travel time is about an hour. If you need something, get it while you are in Cody.

We will have sandwiches for lunch on Sunday, and will have a full dinner.

Check in: We are pretty flexible at Yellowstone Anglers’ Basecamp. We actually have no set check in time, but if you arrive before 2:00 p.m., your cabin or room may not be quite ready. However, you can register at the Lodge and we will store you luggage until your living accommodations are ready. We will provide food to munch on and you can also fish while you wait.

If you are driving: You will have maximum flexibility and can plan your arrival whenever you like, keeping in mind the paragraph above. You may want to stop in Cody, Wyoming before you come to camp. There are 2 fly shops, North Fork Anglers and Wyoming Trout Guides and a visit to one or both may be in order depending on your supply of flies and accessories. There are also liquor shops in Cody that are open on Sunday and you may want to stock up if you plan to have a drink at camp. There are at least 2 that won’t take you off the beaten path: Libations and Rocky Mountain Discount Liquor.

If you are flying: Obviously, the time you arrive in camp is dependent upon the arrival time of your flight. We keep a close eye on arrival times in case of flight delays. Whatever your arrival time, we will pick you up. We will stop the van at the fly shops, they are right across the street from one another and we will stop at a liquor store before heading to camp. If you have other needs, then let the driver know and we will stop and let you pick up whatever that might be.

Some money saving tips if you want to fly:

  • For those who are interested in flying, we will be providing a shuttle service between Billings-Logan Airport in Billings, Montana and camp. The ticket prices are frequently much cheaper and there are many more choices of airlines that service Billings.

  • If you do choose to fly into Billings, we would ask that you cluster your arrival times in Billings around 12:00 noon plus or minus an hour or two so that pick up is most efficient.

  • You may also find that flying in on a Saturday is cheaper than flying on a Sunday. The money you save flying on a Saturday may justify making a hotel reservation in Billings for Saturday night. We will have a van and driver in Billings on Saturday to pick you up and take you to your hotel, fly shops, fishing, dinner, and other activities. Then we will shuttle you to camp on Sunday. 

  • If you do decide to fly into Billings on Saturday, please choose the Rodeway Inn Billings Logan Intl Airport Near St Vincent Hospital, 1315 N 27th St, Billings, MT 59101, (406) 245-4128. It is not the fanciest hotel in town, but it is the cheapest option and the closest to the airport. We want to try to cluster everyone in the same hotel so that we don't have to run all over Billings.
